they indeed produced both a beige and blue metal case. I have one of each as well as a
wooden one. I iwll have to dig into my issues of Byte to check into N* ads for more info
when I get back to Seattle again.

Subject: Metal Case Northstar Horizon
Someone mentioned some time ago a metal case instead of the standard
case for the Northstar Horizon. Can anyone confirm if they did put out a
computer in a metal case, and if so, (wishful thinking) how many they
might have produced? I have one here in a powder blue metal case similar
in color to the IMSAI, but I thought it was something someone just put
together. I talked to the person a few days ago that I got it from, and
he couldn't remember any details except that it came from a swap meet
many years ago.
